I would love to see a new TOG version of the 41mm DJII, but I don't think it will ever happen:(

Most likely gone for good. There did not seem to be too much demand for this one according to the AD's in my location.

I think Jeff Cooper said it best, "An interesting solution to a non-existent problem!" I like the TOG and was looking to buy one. Re-sale value was a problem. Comparing the TOG to the Sub I decided to go with the Sub. In my opinion, the Sub cost more initially, was more durable, and had better re-sale.

I never thought we would see a 40mm Seadweller again.....but here we are. There is no predicting Rolex IMHO.

I don't think it's coming back. A nice-looking watch, but occupied an odd place in the Rolex line-up. It's like someone put a Datejust and Yachtmaster in a Telepod and out came the TOG...not quite a Rolex dress watch or a sports model.

My first auto Rolex is the tt Thunderbird 'R' serial. Bought circa 1989-90, serviced once after 21 years and given to my oldest son on his 31st birthday in 2011. I chose the T-bird specifically because it looked different from the other run of the mill DJ on the display case. The rotating bezel was a favorite feature and the tt version looked very beautiful and it was a very comfortable watch to wear.
Long live the TOG!!! |

It's hard to imagine it coming back, but the Turn-O-Graph is definitely on my acquire list.

I think it will come back. There seems to be an increasing trend at Basel that each year must bring something new and exciting (minor changes don't count). Rolex only has so many models, so I bet it will be reinvented again.

I really like the design of the older model rather than the new one. I don't think it will come back but if it does it should resemble more the early 90s look maybe in a 41 mm with the hidden clasp. That would be awesome

Thanks for the quote. I think that it's very possible that the TOG will return to the catalog, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
